IfisEdit Mode for visibility...

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi, I have a complicated front page of a site that the client would like to make more editable. It has js pop ups on bio photos over a glowing js star. (tell me about it!)www.candylane.co.nz

I think I can handle making the bio photos etc editable by putting them in editable areas (rather than hard coded) but the js pop up on rollover contains the teachers name.

If the client wants to replace or remove a teacher (and they do) they will need to able to alter these js popup details.

At the moment the pop ups are in a div with visibility:hidden. Is it possible to set that to visibility:visible BUT only for edit mode?

yeah. I usually check for edit mode in the <body> and add a class if it is. something like 
<body <?php if ($c->isEditMode()) {?>class="editmode"<?php}?>>
and the do something like 
.bio {display:none;}.editmode .bio {display:block;}

Just one question about that syntax?

In your example does the body tag need to be closed? I'm struggling to get it to work...

custom or core? core would be a pain in the ass, custom not so much

Custom, its an attached js script called thus:

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $this -> getThemePath (); ?>/homeTest.js"></script>

<?php if (!$c->isEditMode()) {?>
  //load js here
<?php}?>
